Oscar Pistorius: South Africa gears up for its 'trial of the century'

(CNN) -- He was one of South Africa's favorite sons, an amputee track star who defied all the odds and sprinted into the hearts of millions during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. She was a staggering beauty with the brains to match, a law graduate and model whose star was on the rise.

Aloha everyone. Marking spot so i can keep up with you all over weekend. Y'all are so smart! :wave:
 
Question --- how do we know OP was watching *advertiser censored* on his cell? I though the cell was locked and in Apple's headquarters. Or has it been unlocked and logged in as evidence? :confused:

The phone wasn't locked, there was an app that was password protected that they wanted to look at and he couldn't recall the password. (They have since accessed it and found nothing relevant)

Oooooh, I see. So we definitely know that OP was watching *advertiser censored*. thanks.
 
Just now listening to the part of today's proceedings that I missed, as I feel asleep shortly after they began :( From reading some posts, sounds like it was a pretty interesting day

If i can go back to the fact that Oscar was allegedly on his stumps and not as he claimed on his prothesis when he used the bat to break down the toilet door.
Can anyone think of a reason why he would lie about this?, i can't figure out a reason why he would lie about it, doesn't seem to change much.

Awaiting what the ballistic will say...
Maybe he was on his prothesis while shooting thru the little broken wood pieces on the right side of the door which he broke with the bat and after seeing that she was dead /about to die he just made up the intruder story , and ran and put off his legs as if he was in bed and of course vulnerable and came back and exceeded to the bashing the door with tha bat and rescue mode, pulled her out of the bathroom and then put on his legs...

The thing that I have trouble with whenever it is suggested that he tried to stage the scene in the bedroom somehow is that if he were thinking about and plotting "how to get away with it," why wouldn't he have refused admittance to the doctor and security that night?

Well there were many calls to the security after the shots, security called him , then came , doctor ran there from his house (inconvenietly) there was no way to refuse admittance.

Sure there is, you open the door and say, "Sorry about the noise, I locked myself out of the bathroom and was trying to knock the lock out cause when you gotta go....."
 
I Have a feeling we haven't heard the last of that Smashed in metal bath panel yet, first set of bangs?.
 
This is my first time posting, I have been here a while always reading but not commenting........... But on this trial I feel I have to comment and thank all the sleuthers in this thread for keeping us informed with your points of view. I would especially like to thank Zwiebel and Trooper who have constantly kept us updated with the trial, even when things reported are not stomach-able...... and for this..... I so so feel for you. All the dedication in this community is really outstanding and I am proud to have witnessed it all. Thank you

On the *advertiser censored* thing:
A lot of people have noted their distaste for OP watching *advertiser censored* on his phone on Valentine's Day. This may be a generational thing, but most 20 somethings today view Internet *advertiser censored* and are pretty open about it, even with their romantic partners. In fact a lot of couples view *advertiser censored* together as a part of forplay and even just sexual flirtation. I'm not saying this is why he was viewing *advertiser censored*, just that we would do well to remember that our speculation around the circumstances of him accessing *advertiser censored* that night is just that, speculation.
 
"It was on his mind for a reason...hmmm. What if Reeva, like any woman, was upset with Pistorius because he did not have a gift for her for Valentine's Day. Here she was, considered by many to be one of the most desirable women in SA. Certainly it would be humiliating to have your new boyfriend fail to acknowledge your relationship on the one day of the year when women expect something special when a girlfriend later asks, "So, Reeva what did you and Oscar do for Valentine's?.

Thinking fast, Oscar offers one of his expensive watches. Reeva, naturally, is incensed and an argument ensues. "Are you kidding me?" she throws it on the bed. "I don't want one of your obsolete watches."

"It's brand new and it's worth 80K, you idiot," he follows her into the guest bedroom. "Aren't we sleeping in my room?" he asks.

"You are. I am too tired to drive home, so I am going to stay over, but I just want a good night's sleep after all this bickering."

"WHAT THE F*CK!" He slams the door and goes to bed alone, searching used cars and beating off to phone *advertiser censored*, grumbling under his breath.

He gets up later, goes into the kitchen. She gets up and wanders over the master bedroom thinking to make up and sees the phone. *advertiser censored*. Other women texting. Him sexting back - and OMG one of them is a 15 year old!

Pistorius comes back in and she says, "Well, I'm really getting to know you fast this way" and holds up the *advertiser censored*. He grabs for his phone and she taunts him, "So now you want to bone a teenager, do you? Wonder what your worldwide fan base will think once they see this." He freaks

He lunges for the phone - has already taken off his legs - and tries to bat it out of her hands. He hits her between the fingers, she runs, taking the phone with her plus her own. "I'm calling the police!" she screams, "You can't hit a woman! Are you mad?" He chases her swatting at her with the bat, causing the scratches. She takes refuge in the toilet."

What if he's a time traveler from the future programmed to kill the mother of John Connor before he can be conceived?

We can imagine a thousand different "could be" scenarios. Where is the evidence?

Is this post about the U S of A.........or some other place where things seem to be skewed a bit.......do not rely on your trained brain?

Do not attemp to adjust your television screen...................

I agree....not even sure why it is relevant.
